JEF• r Fan SON and MIDDISON in this country, will scarcely venture to defend there. Hitherto Mr. JEFFELISON, ie lanjuage at least, affetied• something:like an* equality to the Belligerent Powers, though, - in sub- • stance, he manifested the must decided partiality to France. It seemed to be the sole object of the Arne ricanFresident to find out grounds of complaint against Great Britain, and to invent excuses for the insults which were daily heaped upon America by the French. From a very early 'period of the Revolution. down to the present time, France has, with the exception of some very short intervals, treated America as a hos tile 'country. Her Ships were captured by the French' Cruizers upon the slightest pretexts, and often without any, pretext 'at all. The American averninent• - applied•-for redress, but instead of re ,dress, M. TALVEYEAND Would not even allow the American Ministers in Paris to statetlieir grievances without &wimp (reagent.. The Americans were insulted and plundered in every possible way, and at length, in 1800, a Treaty was signed between France and-America, in_which the latter,.,instead of obtaining redress for the injuries she had sustained, 'aaually consented to give tip more than twenty mil lions of dollars belonging to American Citizens, which had been seized and confiscated in France.— Since that period official informatiOn has been laid before the" American Legi.lature, that American property to an equal amount bass been. seized and confiscated in France. But Mr. JEFFERSON had ra ther see his countrymen plundered, thoOgh he was the chosen protedor of their rights, than offend BUONAPARTE by his complaints. With the seine apathy Mr. Jerreasog beheld the Milan Decree in 1806, the Berlin Decree in 1807, and the Bayonne Decree in 1808, though It is impossible to conceive a more couiplete system of outrage upon Neu tral rights: But when Great Britain began to adopt measures 'in her own defence, then the clarntior of the American Government, until of its friends in this country, knew no bounds.- FortunatelVfor Great Britain,. oiir Ministers were not •to be 'moved by clamours or by threats they persevered in theirsysteirs, and convinced Mr. Jaf. reuses; thAt 'his plan lot ruining Great Britain oper ated itt fad against America. The Embargo, Which was to have placed Great Britain at the feet of France and America, havi ig completely failed, a new measure has been resorted to, we. do not besid . tale to 'assdrt, in the hope of producing a war be'. tween Great Britain and Atnerica. IVIr JEFfERSON and Mr.MADDI4OI.I knew very Well that they could note carry ai motion in the American Legislature for a War with Great Britain, but they have in gentotisly adopted , aplan.. which they think cannot fail of producing so desirable an event. This plan is, to prohibit all intercourse with Great Britain and France, 'and their Dependencies, but to permit a commercial inn:rewrap with . 1011 and and Italy, Ukey being Independent States such has been the fair, impartial, and neutral condna' adopted by kmerica with respeti to. Great Britain and France. There are many other observations that naturally WA:W. to . our Minds upon ` tins subje,4, out se lijive not room for them at present.

The following is the only article of any in terest which they contain • KINGSTON, FAL 18.--13 y a Spanish Captain, who arrived here on Monday evening, we have been fur-, fibbed with the following interesting . particulars re lative to a battle fought between the Spanish Pa triots under the command of General Sanches de jlaniirez, and the French, near the city of Santta- Dorningo. This Captain arrived from Coro, %Oat a cargo of corn, 'at a small port, - "about fourtees l eagues and a hail to leeward of Santo-Domingo, called Palenquin, on the 26th ult.

SanGeronymo, which is a fort within gun-shot of the city. General Sanches then thought it pru dent to retire td his head-quarters at Myna, in or der. to colle6t and concentrate'his scattered forces— The loss of the Patriots was too and odd in killed and wounded, and 20 or ati missing, together with two four-pOnnders. The loss' . of the French :aves . 150 killed and 60 prisoners. - Among the killed of the Patriots were two Officers of great. diatin'aion and tried 'valour ; Don Marcos Torres, Colonel of Dragoons, a step-brother of General Sanchei, who, at the head only of eight dragoons, boldly charged the French arary, and killed with his own Sword.ten Frenchmen ; hebad'received five mortal wounds, when his servant bound him cm his horse, and ear. 7. ried him to the camp of, General Sanches : Don Miguel Camano, Captain of Dragoons, rushed into the French column 'with. six dragoons, and after' pe(rorming prodigies of valour, expired. having re ceived ten - wounds.
